Book 2 Chapter 16 Three Moves Part 2
The instant Lintian saw Micheal gathering light qi and regular qi Lintian new what rank technique he was going to use. Lintian felt goosebumps all over and instantly insert a spell formation into his watch which activated a rank 3 spell array. At first Lintian was thinking of using that move to finish it but thinking about the risks and how hard it is to control it without being in the Master Realm he turn that idea down in an instant. His next best idea was to use a protection spell array.
The Great Shield Array a rank three spell. In less than two breathes the formation was complete and the ground began to ascend and form into a shield. This shield was made out of the materials on this floor that was condensed together.
In three breathes worth of time Lintian’s shield was done. This shield has the strength to take a couple blows from a Master Realm cultivator but Lintian already knew this shield will not hold against Micheal’s tier 6 technique. This is because fusing regular qi with elemental qi bring forth an exponential amount of power. If regular qi or elemental qi that were separate could destroy a mountain then fusing the two qi together will incinerate a mountain. This is the power between the two. For Micheal to even use this move means he consider Lintian a threat.
Micheal’s father stood high up in the balcony mentally praising his son for this decisiveness. With the potential that Lintian has shown here given a couple years and maybe even a hundred years he will become a threat to his clan. If one is going to act then they should be ruthless and decisive about it.
The bystanders were quite amuse by this and always enjoy a good show. The bigger the better.
Most of the nobles had that anticipation in their eyes for Lintian’s downfall.
Lintian’s friends were scared for him. Alex was thinking about doing something to help but seeing Lintian’s smile he wasn't worried at all anymore.
As scared as he was Lintian had a smile on his face. He loves challenges.
Micheal’s light lance begins to spin like a drill and then he used an instant movement technique to appear before Lintian’s shield and drills it in. Lintian was able to see everything clearly. Micheal’s speed was half as fast as before and this was due to having that light lance which slowed him down.
The lance pierces through Lintian’s great shield array like it was made out of jello. Even through that was happening the shield still slowed down the rate of approach by one-fifth of a second. The earth was constantly gathering to repair the shield. While that was happening the shield was growing bigger in width, and length and eventually completely covers Micheal’s visibility of Lintian.
Lintian moves to the side of the Lance and 6 spell formations appears in a straight line across Lintian’s arm. Then he unleashes the soul penetrating fist to the side of the lance changing the trajectory of it. The Lance was moving in an ark back toward Micheal like he was going to salute to a flag.
If it was the same soul penetrating punch from 6 years ago this would not have been the result, but Lintian has trained to the final stage of Dr. Harris’s soul penetrating punch. The first stage only required the release of qi. The second stage requires the release of qi and an element. The third stage requires one to be a spell master. It used to the spell formations to multiple the density of the qi released, and speed of release of the qi by 10 times what a person can normally control. The fourth and last stage of this technique requires the fusion of qi and elemental essence qi, with the spell formations to release a devastating blow. The strength of this punch is 100 times stage 3. It is 1000 times stage 2. Compared to stage one it is 10,000 times stronger. Luckily Lintian hasn’t master the final stage due to not being in the Master Realm, but this was not the technique Lintian was thinking of using before.

Micheal’s right arm made it through the wall and Lintian grabbed it and began to use the glove to absorb the final amount of qi he needed.
Micheal felt confused. How did this happen? Why is my strongest move coming back at me? Since he couldn’t control is anymore he decided to make it explode. With the wall protection him he won’t receive much damage. A cold and decisive glare could be seen in his eyes.
The moment Lintian finish absorbing his qi, Lintian saw Micheal’s lance grow bigger and bigger.
This bastard Lintian screams in his mind. He quickly covers his whole body from head to toe in as much qi as he could. Furthermore he jumps backward and had the earth cover up the lance. This was all happening in less than two breaths.
BOOM!
Shards of sharp rock flew everywhere. Luckily there were cultivators of the Master realm and King realm around. They raised their arm and release their qi to form a shield to protect everyone. This level of power was not very dangerous for King realm cultivators.
Lintian was wretched backwards. Blasted into a wall. Micheal took a couple steps back but aside from a few light scratches he was completely fine. Lintian fell down from the wall and looks a little angry. There were wounds all over his body, and a couple of shards sticking into his body.
“Ugh,” Lintian groans. He leans against the wall all bloody and ragged. “I’m leaving.”
“Haha, a mere martial realm dares to challenge. Look at you now. Looking no better that some piece of shit on the road,” Micheal laughs. “Better pray you don’t face me in the tournament or you are going to suffer a much worse face.”
Lintian gritted his teeth and left out the door.
Patriarch Hawthorne glares at Lintian with murderous eyes. He knows how strong his son is. He knows how strong that move was too. For Lintian to survive being disabled for life from that first move was already considered a miracle and he didn't put it in his eyes. For him to come out barely injured from that second bout shows that the first one was not luck, or some miracle but it implies how talented this boy was, but not a threat to him. Surviving that last bout right then and there told Patriarch Hawthorne that Lintian must die or else there will be a price to pay in the future. He whispers to his advisor.
Lintian was in much better shape than he led people to believe. The damage he attained were minor that a blood pill will easily heal up in 20 minutes.
When we meet again at the tournament you won’t be so lucky. I promise that I will make your life miserable. Lintian promises to himself. I will pay you back today a hundred times fold.
Once Lintian got outside he found the car he was suppose to get in. Lintian got inside the car and the drive hands him a pill. Lintian pops it into his mouth and the car began to drive away. The healing properties of the pills were acting fast and was already healing Lintian’s woulds. Lintian begins to pull out the shards stuck in his body. Once it was out steam was coming out of the wounds and it began to slowly close up.
Lintian looks around and saw a backpack. Lintian opens the backpack and found a bunch of stuff inside. A mask, another mask that just covers the mouth, an earpiece, some clothes that look eerily similar to Micheal’s clothes, a couple metallic orb looking thing and then another big orb that looks to be the thing he has to swap out. The mission starts now.
“Young Master Lintian we will arrive in 15 minutes. The young miss will contact you once we arrive,” the driver said.
